Our Trail Partners
An extensive search continues for the missing hiker on the Tsitsikamma hiking trail.
MTO Trails can confirm that after an extensive, multi-day search operation, the missing hiker, Mr. Hermie van Zyl, has been located. Sadly, he did not survive.
The search effort, coordinated by SAPS Search and Rescue and Mountain Club of SA, involved multiple agencies and volunteers, including SANParks Rangers, and the MTO Trails team. Over the past week, teams covered challenging and remote terrain under difficult weather conditions, demonstrating exceptional professionalism, dedication, and teamwork throughout.
The MTO trails team sends its sincere appreciation to every person and organization who participated in this coordinated response. Their tireless efforts and perseverance were remarkable.
Our deepest condolences go out to Mr. van Zyl’s family and friends during this very difficult time. The family has been supported throughout this process by the relevant authorities.
